Book Scanning

Rare books and historic documents require special handling when converting to digital in order to keep your originals safe. Our high-quality, non-destructive scanning process captures your entire books’ contents without any damage to your originals (including bindings), so you can reproduce them worry free.

If you do not need to keep the originals, you can take advantage of our newest, lowest-cost book scanning option called Book Cutting. This new advancement in Book Scanning technology powers through books up to 3.75” thick to produce the highest-quality images available today.
